Here in Germany, the complete lack of winter has now resulted in a crazy phenomenon: the first CANOLA fields are beginning to bloom in yellow - usually typical for the beginning of MAY...

... so, due to the forecasts of IMPENDING DOOM from another "MAJOR" snowfall, on Friday, the client for my lucrative $$$$ 6 hour gig on Monday cancelled ... now the forecast has been changed to 1 to 2 INCHES, but there is no way the client can reverse the decision ...

Tony, it's raining cats and dogs here right now, but a cold front is approaching, the temperature fell from 44 to 39 in less than two hours and in another few hours all this rain will change over to snow - about 12 to 14 inches of it. Next year, I'll be talking to you guys from my laptop while enjoying the sunshine of the Florida Keys. I won't care if the snow gets aSS deep to an elephant.

To account for trending in short-range model guidance, I've shifted everything south by about 20 miles. It's now live-casting time. This keeps most of Ocean and Burlington County on south through Cape May County in the heavier accumulation axis. The spread is 8-14 because there is that much uncertainty. Most of SNJ will start as rain this evening before changing over to snow. This will happen quickly once the frontal boundary crashes south (before midnight). It should be snowing in SNJ by 10PM. This storm should then dump snow from Midnight through tomorrow afternoon and taper off by tomorrow night. The bottom line here is that NNJ will see the least snow, CNJ will see significant-to-heavy snow, and SNJ will hit the jackpot. Be safe!

The center of that 8 to 14-inch band goes through my neighborhood - you know I'm gonna get hammered - AGAIN!

Gary warm up your snow blower now and hang on baby!

oh yeah and make a batch of Kickapoo Joy Juice too & watch Academy Awards later!!!

I would rather sit outside in the cold dark night naked than watch the Academy Awards.

not a Movie goer Don?

I like good movies as much as anyone. I don't care to watch overdressed, overpainted, overpriced "celebrities" act surprised when they get an award and act glad when someone else gets it.
Just no interest, that's all. May be some Andy Griffith reruns on somewhere!
I'd rather listen to really bad arranger recordings even.

Geez, I'm gonna stay snuggled here at my 5000 foot altitude 65 degrees and forget about living near Gary and DNJ and making all those big bucks. I wouldn't shovel that much snow for all of the tea leaves in China.

Don, DNJ people really still watch those award shows with all of the weirdos making movies. Geez, I can't believe it. Grown men watch it too?

I'm sticking with Lonesome Dove, Open Range, Gunsmoke, True Grit, Big Jake, Randolph Scott and anything with a football, a horse or a cowboy hat. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
